That’s a fascinating piece of work, Jon! The auto complete is fun, many comedians build their shows around this algorithm. It was very wise of you to search both for a kind of neutral topic and a more politically coloured. I didn’t expect the results to be so ‘diplomatic’ either. They must be location-specific too. I tried the same collocations from here and there were zero matches.
You intrigued me by the fact that Spotify can ‘read you’. I feel I need to try it. Your idea to relate a similar algorithm to education is really trendy.This is exactly what recommender systems within LMSs or MOOC platforms try to do, not always successfully though. Since machines are insensitive to the context and human intent, I think it’ is still a long way to go until they’ll always ‘get it right for us’.
Thanks for sharing your discoveries with us, very insightful!
